R&D - Toronto, Ontario

The food is good but a bit overpriced and the duck is so small for the portion! I would like to eat the duck with small wrap instead of bao but their char siu bun is on top! Highly recommend their buns! The drinks are just oke. Overall nice experience, ... good vibe if you have money to spend! Read more

Really friendly staff, everything they recommended was phenomenal, got the fried chicken, got the fried rice, got the charsui bun I believed is the CSB on the menu. The fried rice is the best I've ever had or at least in the top 2, 10 out of 10. Amazing salt, crunch, ... flavor, perfect. Truly an item everyone should be trying, the chicken was very unique and authentic in flavor. Came out hot and crispy, but the bun was ridiculous, melts in your mouth. Warm crispy, etc. Highly recommend checking this place out if it wasn't obvious enough. They are one of the recommended restaurants on the Michelin list, for good reason. Thank you Read more

Amazing evening! We ordered several dishes and shared them with our table (fried rice, Brussels sprouts, broccolini, beef bao and the whole duck). Everything was amazing and so tasty. Unique flavors in each dish and definitely a worthwhile place to visit. The service was also excellent with attention to detail. ... Water was filled promptly, dishes were cleared and replaced regularly and orders were served quickly. Eric even came over to our table and signed a menu for us to take. The only negative was the automatic %20 tip that was added on for our group of 6, which seemed extremely high! Overall an excellent experience though and I will definitely visit again. Food and service exceeded expectations. Read more

I had a really enjoyable dinner here. The food was a definite highlight! We opted for a selection of sharable dishes, which gave us a nice variety of flavors and textures opposed to getting the duck as we were only a party size of 2. Here's what we had: Char Siu Bau Popcorn ... shrimp Shrimp Toast Beef Tartare GRANDPA’S FUN GUO Finally our star of the meal was the WOK LOBSTER, I thoroughly enjoyed that dish. Our only slight disappointment was that our drinks were delayed, arriving only with our third dish. It could be that the restaurant was particularly busy, but the timing did throw off the flow a bit. Overall, we had a great dining experience. Despite the minor service issue, we still enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. While we skipped the duck this time (it probably would have been too much for two!), we'd definitely return to try it with a larger group. Read more

Good Chinese restaurant in Toronto downtown. It is offered a regular amount and variety of traditional Chinese dishes. Quality of food here is not excellent but good enough for a casual night out. Beef baos and buns are tasty and very well cooked, good options to start with. Unfortunately, popcorn shrimps ... are not as good as they seem to be when you read the menu. They have no tasting unless dip them into the sauce that comes with. One remarkable starter that surprised me was the spring rolls. They are filled with kind of an onion bechamel, which reminded me a bit to spanish croquettes. They are worth a try. As mains, I would recommend the fried chicken and the mushroom fried rice. They were both delicious, very well seasoned and prepared for the table. The menu is designed to be shared to have the chance to try more plates, and quantities served are according to the price. As a reference,for a group of four people I would recommend ordering 6-7 plates (2-3 starters, 2 small plates and 2 mains). Desserts here are nothing special. Sticky toffee pudding has a strong taste which is not the best way to finish a meal, but other than that the cooking point was achieved . Read more
